I Have A Divine Tree In My Heart Chapter 207 - Song Ji, You Have Landed Me In Serious Trouble!

Chapter 207: Song Ji, You Have Landed Me In Serious Trouble!

“Third-level medium intensity, an hour and a half?”

Lin Yao’s words made the people present burst into laughter, and a student from the University of Monster Science and Technology who was preparing to undergo electric current development and was very nervous also laughed when he heard Lin Yao’s words.

“Well, stop talking about this. Junior Brother is undergoing development. He doesn’t know about the breakdown of the electric current intensity at all. Is there a need to go into the details?”

While the others laughed, Song Ji spoke up for Lin Yao, but he seemed to be mocking him.

“No, I know what electric current intensity means.”

“Very well, you know. Sit down and I’ll test it slowly.”

“Junior brother, I am also undergoing development, third-level intensity. Let us compete to see who will last longer.”

Lin Yao was about to say something in response to Song Ji’s perfunctory words, but in the end, he said nothing.

At present, he already understood Song Ji’s character. He had a good personality and was quite enthusiastic, as he had told Lin Yao a lot of useful things.

However, there was no perfect person in the world. The University of Monster Science and Technology was powerful, and he felt prideful to be working in a research inst.i.tute of the university. That was why he subconsciously looked down on outsiders.

While introducing the various facilities in the University of Monster Science and Technology when they were outside, he had been enjoying the looks of surprise and bewilderment on Lin Yao’s face. Right now, he did not believe that there could be a genius from a small place like Ninghai City.

This somewhat arrogant personality made Lin Yao know that he would not believe his explanation and would only agree with his own judgment. Therefore, Lin Yao did not bother explaining anything. The equipment would say everything.

As for the other thunder genius who underwent development with him, he was still talking non-stop to Lin Yao. Lin Yao was speechless, but he could tell that the other person was not mocking him. Instead, he was afraid of going through the upcoming electric current development and was trash-talking to relieve stress. Lin Yao decided to ignore him.

“Zhu Tao, come here to help me and watch the vital signs.”

“Coming.” While adjusting the equipment, the senior a.s.sistant who had come to help also looked at Lin Yao curiously. “Song Ji, what’s up with that young man? I remember that a professor can only allow three outsiders to use the resources in the university, and they still have to spend double the points.”

“I don’t know. He was sent by my mentor’s mentor, and my mentor was asked to take good care of him. She is very busy during this period. After learning about the situation of this young man, she redeemed the training qualification for Sun Radiance to aid his development and told me to keep an eye on him during his cultivation.”

“Wow, 800 points at a time. Your boss is really generous.”

“That would be more than 800. My boss has said that he can come here whenever he wants… Alas, a big buyer. Why don’t I get such good treatment?”

“It’s really upsetting for you… It must be troublesome to take care of children.”

“It’s okay, it’s only half an hour at most. When he lies down, I can relax… I am done with the adjustments. Let me see, he’s a beginner warlord. Although he is from a small city, my mentor’s mentor is willing to recommend him. He should be able to meet the requirements. Besides, he also mentioned just now that he wanted the intensity to be third-level medium, when it should be second-level medium instead.”

While talking to himself, Song Ji switched on the electric current connected to Lin Yao’s electric chair, and the intensity of the electric current rose all the way and soon reached second-level medium.

“The electric current is turned on. Zhu Tao, keep a watch on the vitals. Junior Brother Lin Yao, just let me know if you feel uncomfortable.”

Song Ji spoke softly with Zhu Tao. However, the electromagnetic induction enabled Lin Yao to hear everything, and Lin Yao looked helpless when he heard Song Ji’s last question.

“I don’t feel any discomfort. In fact, I am too comfortable now.”

As electricity flowed into Lin Yao’s body through the cable, his Electricity-Absorbing Physique was activated, and the cells absorbed the electric energy and became fully active. Lin Yao’s body and mind felt refreshed and energetic.

Lin Yao was very comfortable in this state. However, he would not be able to reach a higher level if he did not increase the intensity. His physical strength would not increase rapidly in this state.

When a large amount of electric current flowed into Lin Yao’s body, Song Ji was a little surprised to see that Lin Yao looked helpless but showed no sense of discomfort.

“Ha ha ha… It’s good that you can last so long. You are indeed someone who was recommended by a master.”

While talking, he increased the electric current intensity.

Second-level medium, second-level high, second-level peak… He kept increasing the intensity. Right now, electric current had already spilled over to surround Lin Yao, but there was still no trace of pain on his face.

On the contrary, the student from the university who had been trash-talking had a drastically different expression.

By comparing the two, Song Ji had already sensed that something was wrong. He did not dare underestimate him. Instead, he slowly increased the electric current intensity to the third level.

The electric current intensity was set by humans for the convenience of comparing the values when studying Project Thunder G.o.d.

In most cases, the first-level intensity corresponded to the martial artist, the second-level intensity corresponded to the warlord, and the third-level intensity corresponded to the silver warlord.

Lin Yao was a beginner warlord. From Song Ji’s point of view, the second-level intensity was enough. To him, Lin Yao was already a genius to be able to endure the second-level intensity. However, now it seemed that the third-level intensity had not reached Lin Yao’s limit.

This also attracted the attention of many people. “We are blind. We never expected to meet such a genius.”

When that was said, the researcher who was responsible for adjusting the equipment for the body development of thunder geniuses did not pay much attention to Lin Yao.

Lin Yao was powerful enough to reach the third-level electric current intensity. However, this was the University of Monster Science and Technology, where a lot of geniuses gathered. There were many such cases here. Just now, most of them had laughed, as they had the same mentality as Song Ji, who believed that since Lin Yao came from a small city, he had to be clueless about electric current intensity and was thus talking nonsense.

Soon, Song Ji adjusted the electric current intensity to the third level, as Lin Yao had said, and immediately focused on his vitals, observing Lin Yao’s physical condition.

Just as Lin Yao had thought, Song Ji had always lived in Shanghai and was a little arrogant around outsiders. However, he had a good personality and he did not dare relax for fear that something would happen to Lin Yao.

“Keep a close watch on the vitals. You must notify me as soon as they reach the limit.”

“Needless to say, if something goes wrong, my future will be completely ruined.”

The researchers placed their hands on the electric current control switch, ready to adjust it at any time. Song Ji and Zhu Tao stared nervously at the equipment that detected Lin Yao’s vitals.

Three minutes had pa.s.sed. Soon, five minutes had pa.s.sed since the start of the development. They were still staring hard at the vitals.

“Not bad. This is already the minimum standard for entering our university. Junior Brother, you can study in this university in the future.”

“Let’s talk about it then.”

Lin Yao grimaced slightly due to the in-depth electric current development. However, he could still bear it, and he even had time to think about Song Ji’s words.

‘The University of Monster Science and Technology is very good, but no thanks.’

Yes, the University of Monster Science and Technology was good. However, Lin Yao was not prepared to come here.

The reason was none other than the fact that the university was too strong.

The University of Monster Science and Technology was the second-best university in China. There was no shortage of geniuses in this university. Every year, the prefecture champion would be admitted into the school. Due to the large number of geniuses, the university offered very few subsidies for geniuses.

Even so, there were still a lot of people who wanted to go to this university. They had the best teachers, abundant resources, and a huge number of mystic realms and formations. All these could allow the students of the university to develop quickly.

Those things were also useful to Lin Yao, but, knowing this, he still did not want to go to the university.

‘My foundation is the tree-planting system. With this, the facilities of the University of Monster Science and Technology are not essential to me. What I need most now is the acc.u.mulation of energy in the early stage. There are too many geniuses in the university, and they could not provide me with subsidies. I could find a school with money and ambitions. If they want to compete to be the best, they will definitely spend a lot of money to invite geniuses. I won’t be too greedy to ask for one billion yuan. But based on these conditions, I could easily have 100 million yuan.

‘However, the premise of all this is that I must have excellent results in the college entrance examination. Only this way would someone spend a lot of money to win me over. The more successful I am, the more people will be willing to spend money to enroll me.’

While Lin Yao was thinking about the future, Song Ji was staring at Lin Yao nervously. Although he no longer underestimated him, he still subconsciously looked down on people from small cities. Therefore, he was worried that Lin Yao would try to be brave but would end up hurting himself. If people were hurt during development, the researchers had to compensate them and, at times, were held criminally liable. After all, like plastic surgery, in-depth electric current development was already mature technology. Apart from a few accidents, most of the mishaps were caused by the researchers. This was the reason they were very cautious.

Of course, they were nervous only during the first development. When they had the data, they would be much more relaxed during the second development.

‘I must be extra careful. After all, he was sent by my mentor’s mentor. If there’s a mishap, my boss will kill me.’

With this thought in mind, he thought he only needed to stare intently at the vitals for a short while. However, soon, his expression changed.

Five minutes, 10 minutes, 20 minutes, half an hour…

One feature of in-depth electric current development was that the longer the duration, the greater the stimulation to the body and the more unbearable the pain was.

It had been half an hour. Lin Yao could no longer endure it but moaned in pain.

Now, no one laughed at Lin Yao as if they were looking at a fool, like they had before. Instead, there was surprise in their eyes as they looked at Lin Yao.

“Ss… It’s been half an hour. Old Zhang has been lying down, yet he can still persist.”

“This is more than persisting. I have the feeling that he has barely begun to exert his strength.”

“Old Song, where did you get this guy? If he joins the university, it won’t be long before he is on the Hidden Dragons list.”

Lin Yao was a beginner warlord, yet he used third-level medium intensity during the electric current development of his body. However, researchers in the university were not shocked, as there were many such cases in the school.

Still, he had persisted at third-level medium intensity for half an hour and had not collapsed, which was unusual. This was regarded as exceptional even in the university.

Lin Yao had attracted the attention of many people.

A lot of people even posted messages to their battle groups, wanting the captains to include Lin Yao as a reserve.

The university was already considered a small society, and this was even more so in a university for martial artists. Most of the third-year and fourth-year students had to gain experience outside.

Learning through experience was not a game but an actual battle. There was no one to protect or follow them around. They had to depend on themselves. There were hundreds or even thousands of students who died every year due to venturing outside to gain experience.

Given that gaining experience was very dangerous and people even died from it, apart from some particularly confident or arrogant people, most of the third-year and fourth-year students would try to strengthen themselves. They would buy weapons and potions and form teams.

There were too many benefits to teaming up. A team with good chemistry could display a higher level of combat power beyond their ranks. Having a team was also useful under normal circ.u.mstances. Venturing outside to learn through experience was not as straightforward as arena compet.i.tions. One often had to find information and clues, search around, and stay vigilant throughout the night in the city to complete their tasks.

They were required to do many different things to complete a task, and very few people were all-rounded. This made teaming up the best choice. Even powerhouses would team up.

Of course, they would not form an ordinary team but a team with themselves as the leader. They would look for various people to complement the abilities that they lacked.

The country also attached great importance to teams. This could be seen at compet.i.tions. Although the audience liked to watch individual battles the most, the highest reward offered in official compet.i.tions was always the team compet.i.tion reward.

Lin Yao had won both the individual and team compet.i.tions in Ninghai City. Among them, he had only been awarded a diamond-level technique along with some money for the individual compet.i.tion, while he had been given an opportunity for a diamond resource exchange for the team compet.i.tion.

Due to the increase of teams, there were also people who wanted to continue to gain strength through teaming up, so there were also battle groups. The battle groups in university were even more unusual. Battle groups in better universities would have the financial support of companies, families, dojos, and even the military. This was done to groom geniuses while supplementing themselves.

In China, 99% of the geniuses would enter inst.i.tutions of higher learning. Every powerful force in the country valued these inst.i.tutions of higher learning. Therefore, in addition to subsidies from the school and the state itself, a lot of other forces invested funds in the higher inst.i.tutes of learning.

Lin Yao’s performance had caught the eye of these battle groups.

However, Lin Yao was clueless and did not wish to care about anything now.

The terrifying electric current flowed through his body, paralyzing him. The cells were broken and repaired, then broken and repaired again… In the process of fragmentation and repair, electric current would be drawn into the cells so that the reproduced cells would be stronger. Although this was a good thing, it was too painful.

During the cycle of fragmentation and repair, Lin Yao’s whole body was torn and smashed. What was more terrifying was that there was electric current in the nerves, and the electric current stimulated the nerves, making Lin Yao have a better perception of his body and yell involuntarily.

Brave Soul could not stop it either. Its function was such that if Lin Yao was in excruciating pain, he would not have any thoughts of giving up. Instead, he would have the burning will to continue.

‘Pain can’t kill me. It will only make me stronger.’

Although he had brave thoughts, he would still feel pain.

Half an hour had pa.s.sed. Song Ji and Zhu Tao were drenched in sweat. They were not embarra.s.sed but anxious.

Lin Yao endured the development for a very long time. As they did not have a real understanding of Lin Yao’s condition, they were afraid that the electric current would over-stimulate him and hurt him.

It would be very serious if he was hurt.

Ordinary people and geniuses received a different treatment. When Lin Yao had first arrived, they had thought that he was just a genius from a small city. Song Ji had not paid much attention to him. Even if Lin Yao was hurt, he felt that he could handle it.

But now, Lin Yao had shown his real talent. If he was injured now, there would definitely be a thorough investigation. In fact, if Lin Yao was seriously injured, he would not be able to afford the compensation even if he declared bankruptcy. It might even affect his entire life.

The problem was that Lin Yao now had a huge amount of electricity stored in his body, which might easily explode.

Song Ji, who was anxious, could not help but ask Lin Yao for the thirteenth time, “Are you okay? Do you feel any discomfort?”

“How could I feel discomfort? It hurts me to death, but… Ss… I can still endure it!”

Lin Yao felt that he was okay, but Song Ji was sweating profusely out of anxiety. Next to him, Zhu Tao wiped his sweat and said, “The body temperature has reached 55 degrees Celsius.”

“55 degrees Celsius! What about the vital signs monitor?”

“It shows that everything is normal.”

“d.a.m.n! How can it all be normal at 55 degrees? Is the monitor functioning properly?”

“Why don’t we pause and fix it?”

“I told you, I am alright and I can continue the development.”

Lin Yao realized that the two of them were unreliable, but he still intended to continue the development. Of course, he did not intend to reach his limit this time. He intended to stop the development by himself while he was still conscious about one hour and 20 minutes later.

One and a half hours was the development limit that Lin Yao could accept.

It was a shorter time compared to his development when he had become a warlord. However, the development that Lin Yao had undergone in the martial artist stage had been at the second level of intensity. Right now, his development was at the third level of intensity. Since the intensity had increased, he could naturally last a shorter time.

Speaking of that, the adjustment of the electricity current’s intensity was also a difficult task. Ordinary researchers could only adjust to reach the beginner, medium, and high levels. Researchers with impressive abilities could make fine adjustments in these three levels.

This was necessary. It would not be good to use the highest possible electric current intensity during development. Lin Yao might be able to endure it if it was too strong, but there would be too little time left for his body cells to regenerate. If he could not regenerate and strengthen his cells, he would be withstanding pain and injury in vain.

If the electric current was too low, it would take a long time and the stimulation would not be effective.

However, in most cases, researchers would rather use a lower intensity than a higher intensity. Although the former would result in a slower strengthening of the body, the latter would result in injuries if they were not careful.

At Lin Yao’s insistence, the electric current development continued, and soon, another 20 minutes had pa.s.sed.

“Old… Old Song, his body temperature has reached 60 degrees. We have a device to bring down the temperature, so it is still okay. But aren’t we going to stop?”

“Don’t ask me.”

“You are the person in charge of the development. Who else can I ask for advice but you!”

“d.a.m.n! I’m an a.s.sistant researcher. Why should I be responsible for this?”

Lin Yao was a beginner warlord, and his development was conducted at third-level medium electric current intensity for 50 minutes.

Anyone who had two of these three characteristics was considered a genius. Song Ji was still able to handle and bear responsibility for their development. However, when the three characteristics were combined, these people would be considered super-geniuses even in Shanghai, and he could not bear such a heavy responsibility.

The country and the school valued super-geniuses highly. Although Song Ji had a good mentor, he was only an a.s.sistant compared to these super-geniuses.

He could not handle the stress of making the decisions for the development of a super-genius. He did not have the abilities to do that.

He was under immense pressure, as Lin Yao was too talented. If Lin Yao was injured, he would be doomed as well.

Besides, as the duration of the electric shock increased, the difficulty of the development was getting higher and higher, and he did not have the ability to continue the development.

After undergoing long periods of electric shock, one’s body temperature would rise and electric currents would acc.u.mulate in the body. These were all risk factors. Sometimes, the researcher even needed to turn off some electrode patches based on Lin Yao’s physical condition to ease a certain part of his body.

After all, the endurance of each part of the body was different, and a smart and skillful researcher was needed to make suitable adjustments.

This was also the reason why development was mostly carried out in research inst.i.tutes, and professional work required professional geniuses.

In the past, there had been Professor Li, a super researcher who could contact the princ.i.p.al of the University of Monster Science and Technology, and Senior Sister Jiang Rong, who was a research genius, so Lin Yao had never encountered these problems.

Right now, he finally understood the importance of Professor Li and Jiang Rong. In the past, he’d only needed to undergo pa.s.sive development. Professor Li and Senior Sister Jiang Rong would perform the various steps and adjustments required during the development. But now, he began to feel uncomfortable.

“Ss, the right… the right side of the chest hurts more than other areas.”

“A-Are you okay?”

“Yes.”

The developer was unskilled and could not adjust in advance according to the vitals. He would only make changes after Lin Yao reminded him. Thankfully, Light Adjustment was still alright. The Armored Body Of Light LV7 was indeed strong. Lin Yao could use the power of light to heal areas that were injured.

Right now, he had to make use of his own abilities to make up for the lack of professional help during his development.

The one thing that he was displeased about was that as his body was constantly in a state of electrical damage, it was not easy for him to mobilize energy. At the same time, when mobilizing energy, he would need to pay attention to the body. This was the same as sc.r.a.ping bones. It was even more painful for Lin Yao to observe and feel his injuries.

“Let’s stop for a while. A certain part of the body is particularly painful. This is bad. If the electric shock continues, it will seriously damage that area.”

“It’s okay, I have repaired the area that is in deep pain. Ss… Grrr… Don’t worry… Phew… I will stop before my body reaches its limit.”

Lin Yao inhaled, screamed, and yelled in pain. His face was distorted due to the unbearable pain. However, he did not stop. He was not pus.h.i.+ng himself, as he knew that he was able to endure it.

Instead, Lin Yao rea.s.sured Song Ji.

“Don’t worry… Senior, I wouldn’t joke around with my health. If I don’t feel well, I will stop immediately!”

Lin Yao was indeed confident. Of course, in order to better pay attention to his body, he would activate accelerated thinking from time to time and observe the body. If there was a serious injury, he would stop immediately.

However, the situation he was worried about did not occur. Song Ji’s ability was indeed not as good as Senior Sister Jiang Rong’s. However, he was still a researcher who had graduated from the University of Monster Science and Technology. It was true that he did not know how to make fine adjustments, but he would not allow anything to happen to Lin Yao.

Song Ji was still very worried despite Lin Yao’s a.s.surance.

He looked around and very soon found someone and cheered loudly, looking very happy.

“Senior Gong, you are here. Please help me!”

“What’s going on? Electric current development is already a mature technology. Why do you still need my help? Don’t tell me you haven’t mastered the trade?”

The person speaking was a man about 27 years old. He was a gentle-mannered man who was wearing a pair of gold-rimmed spectacles.

He walked over upon hearing Song Ji’s words.

However, after taking a few steps, he suddenly noticed something. When he was approaching, the surrounding researchers looked at him with an odd look. He felt perplexed by the situation.

“What’s the matter? Are my clothes okay?”

The man, who was clueless, glanced at himself but did not notice any problems. He then walked to the console where Song Ji was with a perplexed look on his face. When he reached it, he looked at the screen that displayed the vitals. There were cables and various equipment for checking the vitals on the electric chair. Right now, all the information was projected on the screen of Song Ji’s console. Most researchers would adjust the electric current intensity and other parameters based on these data.

When looking at the screen, the gentleman known as Senior Gong did not notice anything special. He worked at this inst.i.tute and had handled such development thousands of times. He felt that he could execute it even with his eyes closed.

However, soon, he widened his eyes, looking at the data on the console. The corner of his lips kept twitching when he noticed that the young man’s temperature had hit 60 degrees.

“How long has the development been going on at this temperature?”

“50 minutes.”

“50 minutes. This is a good talent. Wait a minute, is the intensity at third-level medium?”

“Yes, it has always been at this intensity.”

“Was my perception wrong? Is the young man a beginner warlord?”

“Yes.”

After a few moments of silence, the gentle-mannered Senior Gong turned to leave.

“Sorry for disturbing you. Goodbye.”

“Don’t leave. Senior Gong, you have the most experience here.”

“I am experienced in developing ordinary people, but I am not qualified to develop such a genius!”

“Are you not qualified either?”

“Of course not!”

That was right. They were not qualified. Thunder geniuses were not test subjects but treasures that the country valued. They were the powerhouses who could protect the country in the future.

The country placed high importance on these people. When developing them, there were many qualification checks, including technical excellence and political investigation. The country was worried that young people would be too radical. Researchers who developed these geniuses had to also meet certain age requirements.

In fact, the country would even investigate whether there were any grievances.

In short, the country would ensure that the geniuses were well-protected.

Lin Yao was obviously such a genius that Senior Gong would be afraid of him.

“d.a.m.n it! He is only a beginner warlord and he can last 50 minutes during the third-level medium electric current development. This is not all. How much does his physical fitness improve after each in-depth development?”

Although there was no specific calculation, Senior Gong felt that this must be a shocking number.

His growth was really terrifying. He even had a scary thought.

‘If there are plenty of nutrition drinks, it might take less than a month to break through to a silver warlord. If he can maintain such an improvement speed when he is a silver warlord… Ss!”

“d.a.m.n! If such a genius is destroyed by us, the princ.i.p.al will kill me. Song Ji, you have landed me in serious trouble!”
